Me and my cousin were on our way home from Los Angeles after a very long day at work and I still had about an hour and a half left to go, so I decided to look up a spot to eat. I was craving mediterranean food and after a quick google search, I found this particular spot and I figured I'd give it a try. Parking isn't the easiest as its very limited, however I was able to find a spot close by and I walked in. Upon walking in, I was greeted by Tigran and a friendly and welcoming personality. I stood in life while I looked at the menu and he had asked if we were ready, however I needed a bit more time to see what I was going to order. Once I was ready, I walked up to the counter and Tigran proceeded to take our order. My cousin ordered the Chicken Tarna Plate with the basmati rice and garden salad, while I opted for the Chicken Kabob Plate with basmati rice and their tabbouleh salad and an extra chicken skewer. We also ordered two drinks, my cousin had the hibiscus tea and I had the cucumber mint lemonade. The hibiscus tea was not sweetened as most places, which is actually a good thing and pairs up great with this good. My cucumber mint lemonade was the BEST lemonade I've ever had, it was extremely delicious. I must admit I did have to add extra ice and dilute it slightly by adding some water because it was the taste was strong, but in a good way. After serving our drinks, we walked over to take a seat by the windows facing south, the overall seating area was really nice and open, with plenty of space around each seat. I wanted to watch the Dodger game and so I chose this seat where I can have my iPad streaming the game while I enjoyed my food. While I waited for my food, I realized this place is fairly busy, lots of traffic, however it is not overcrowded by any means. I believe majority of orders were to go, however seeing a lot of people made me think this food was going to be really good. After waiting a little bit of time, my order was ready and I called up. I grabbed my tray and walked back to my table. I realized they had these little clear containers with something white inside, looked like some semi-clear white paste but I wasn't sure what it was. Curious to know, I walked to the front and asked Tigran what it was and with a smile he said "That's garlic sauce", I told him I wasn't sure but not once did he make me feel odd or weird about asking what it was. He continued to have a friendly personality. I finally decided to try out the food and oh man, the food was DELICIOUS, I have only had mediterranean from a few places, 5 to be exact, and this one was definitely on top of the list. Each one of our plates had 2 pita breads, which I really appreciated since all the other spots only come with 1 bread and I have to purchase additional ones. I realized maybe I shouldn't eat more than 1 but it was really good, you know I ate both of them haha I could not finish my meal, perhaps because I had 3 cups of the lemonade, or the two pita breads, so I decided t take it to-go. I walked to the counter and asked Tigran if i could have a to-go box for my food and he gave me a very sturdy box, which worked perfect compared to some other flimsy containers other restaurants hand out. I also ordered an extra side of hummus, trust me its REALLY good! Tigran asked me what my name was (for the new order) and I said 'Francisco', he said "Ok I'll try to remember that, I sometimes forget but I will try to remember your name next time you come in" with a smile again. I said I wasn't from this area and I lived out of town, I was just passing by. Overall, I give this place 5 start but I would give it 10 if it was possible. To the staff at Zankou Chicken, thank you for keeping a clean place, to the kitchen, great job, everything was delicious, and last but not least, to Tigran, thank you for everything. If you read this, thank you for the welcoming and friendly customer service, keep it up. I will DEFINITELY stop by for lunch or dinner again when I drive to Los Angeles. Sincerely, Francisco P.

I love kebabs. I really like this restaurant. I love especially grilled tomatoes, the meat is not too much burnt, and delicious rice well cooked. Thanks to señor Jose for introducing me to this place.

I've been coming here since. It 1st opened up . After my 1st time trying their chicken. I was hooked. It is so good . Hot very juicy and tastes amazing. The meat is so moist and their garlic sauce. Is the cherry on top . Not too forget their hummus. Is very good and blends perfectly with the chicken. If you haven't tried this place. I definitely recommend it . This was one of my mom's favorite places. She passed away in 2014 . Every time I come here. I have great memories of her and I. I know her spirit is there with me .

One of my favorite go-to places when visiting the Los Angeles area. Hard to describe how rotisserie chicken can be so much better from one place to another. However, the chicken at Zankou's is amazing. As popular as this place is and how good the food is, there's never a long line as they move the orders pretty quickly. Menu and ordering is very straight-forward. I always keep it simple with chicken and salads with PLENTY of the garlic sauce. You can never have too much of the garlic sauce from Zankou's. I just spread the garlic sauce on a pita, add chicken, add salad, and enjoy. Good food doesn't have to be complicated. I do need to try other things on the menu, but so hard not to get the chicken. Highly recommend.

The food is amazing, the service is on point and the ambience is like a 1970's diner without a bar to sit at - nothing fancy and really it's all about the food. The place is always clean and busy.

Zanku, a hidden gem that serves mouth-watering Lebanese and Armenian cuisine. From the get-go, I was captivated by the classic garlic sauce that comes with many of their dishes – it's absolutely addictive! The long wait times at here are just part of the experience, especially when ordering their popular kabobs or Lule. It’s a testament to the quality of the food that so many people are willing to wait, and trust me, it’s worth it! While waiting for my meal, I glanced at the menu and realized I had forgotten to order the pickled red beets, which usually come with the meal—unless they’re only served with the chicken? As usual, I wished they offered more rice; it's simply never enough! This particular location has a simplicity to its décor. Unlike its sleeker sister location in Burbank, the ambiance is decidedly no-frills. But as the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover – the real magic happens on the plates.

My brother and his fiancé recommended this place. We were in the area so had to stop by and try it. We got a tri-tip wrap and roasted chicken wrap, a whole chicken and large order of tabbouleh. I love my tri-tip wrap. The chicken one was good but a little dry. Rotisserie chicken was good too with some tabbouleh. I want to try the beef kabob wrap next time. Definitely recommend this place 😋

I ordered a whole chicken to go, they gave 2 small pita for the whole chicken. Pita was at least 4 days old or older. Seems they buy unsold old pita then pass them to the consumer. $20 chicken …

I ordered online and my husband picked it up. When he got home we noticed the order had several mistakes. Indicated no rice for two meals, got rice. Indicated no bread, got bread. Indicated cucumber salad, no salad. Indicated tahini, no tahini. Food was also too salty. And on top of that I tipped them 15%. Check your order before you leave!

The food was good and not overpriced considering the area. Service was friendly and pretty quick, not drive thru quick but drive thru quick but almost. Was higher quality than drive thru. Building was clean and well maintained. Would definitely eat there again. Probably deserves 4 star.

Been eating and loving Zankous for a very long time, but the portions have become shocking. I guess it's like that everywhere. I remember when a plate of Zankou meant getting a container that was *stuffed* with meat - enough for a hearty dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day. Now, containers are smaller, you get a sad scoop of meat, and prices have risen to $20-something per plate (delivery). I'm ok with rising prices, but portions shouldn't be shrinking. Photo attached of an uneaten tarna plate - if I had stacked all the meat to the side, it would be about 30% of the section. Just sad

I honestly don’t get what people love about this place. The prices are high for what you get, and the food just isn’t good. Nothing stood out, and I left wondering why it’s so popular. Definitely not worth the hype or the money.

MEDIOCRE at best!\nHad the chicken bowl. Chicken was meh -- salad consisted of chopped pieces of this and that. For $16. A total waste of my money. Moreover the place was NOT clean. Pretty run down…

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Food portions are smaller. FOOD TASTES FUNNY AND UNHEALTHY. do not visit any of their stores. i have tried, Glendale, Hollywood and Montobello

Love this place food is great but sadden to say I will no longer be ordering or coming to this place or supporting Zankou Chicken. I realize one of there employees lives in the building I do. I find it very contradicting the fact restaurant jobs consist on working with people and kindness is key, Apparently these people are huge on looks so whenever I come across the employee not one kind gesture. One has the nerve to come out to my window yell out loud rude disrespectful comments, bumps her music out loud 3am in the morning where I’ve called off from work from the disturbance. It’s continuous and they ganged up with other tenants to cause more disruption. Very low class
